Coutee secured all three of his targets for 25 yards in the Texans' 41-7 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Coutee served as the clear No. 3 receiver Sunday with Will Fuller's (hamstring) absence bumping Kenny Stills up to the No. 2 role once again and DeAndre Carter not seeing a target in the contest. Coutee's numbers were modest, however, and he's surpassed 39 receiving yards in just one game this season. The slot receiver will look to put up better numbers against the Colts in a Week 12 Thursday night matchup, but he'll bump down to the No. 4 spot, at minimum, whenever Fuller returns to action.

Godwin hauled in three of six targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Godwin put together another relatively modest stat line, but his 30-yard scoring grab late in the third quarter boosted his day from a fantasy perspective. The third-year wideout hadn't crossed the goal since Week 5 in a game against this same Saints squad, and he's now failed to eclipse 100 yards in four consecutive contests. Godwin will look to build on Sunday's score against the Falcons in a Week 12 divisional showdown.

Beasley caught all four of his targets for 38 total yards during Sunday's 37-20 win over Miami.

Beasley's biggest play came early in the third quarter in which he beat his man to the inside from the slot and went for a 15-yard gain to set up a Buffalo touchdown. The veteran receiver had a nice three-game scoring streak in Weeks 7 through 9, but he has not otherwise found the end zone this season and has topped 50 total yards just thrice. He remains at his best as a high-volume underneath target. Next up is Denver's top-five-rated pass defense.

Evans brought in four of eight targets for 69 yards in the Buccaneers' 34-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Evans ostensibly got a matchup boost when Marshon Lattimore was ruled out of the contest earlier in the week due to a hamstring injury, but he was unable to fully capitalize. The multi-time Pro Bowler has now been under the century mark in back-to-back games after putting up a combined 378 receiving yards and three touchdowns over the prior pair of contests. Evans is still arguably Jameis Winston's top target the majority of weeks despite the occasional fluctuation in production, so he'll be in play in all formats once again for a Week 12 battle against the Falcons.

Samuel caught four of seven targets for 25 receiving yards during Sunday's 29-3 loss to Atlanta.

When it comes to Samuel's value, the equation for verifying whether he was a worthwhile start in a given week boils down to whether or not he got into the end zone. In four contests this season in which Samuel has scored a touchdown, he has accounted for four receptions and 55.5 yards per game. In six outings without a score, however, he's been held to just 3.7 receptions and 40.7 yards, while only exceeding the 50-yard mark once. The workload has been there to justify him as a weekly starting consideration (7.5 targets per game), but Samuel's catch rate of 50.7 percent severely inhibits his ability to consistently contribute to a winning fantasy operation. In Week 12, he'll be saddled with a discouraging matchup, going up against a New Orleans defense that entered Sunday as a top-12 unit in both passing yards (225.8) and passing touchdowns (1.3) allowed per game.

Gallup caught nine of 13 targets for 148 yards during Sunday's 35-27 win over the Lions.

Gallup led the team in targets and catches as he topped the 100-yard mark for the third time this season. He perhaps received some extra attention from Dak Prescott as Amari Cooper was visibly limited by injuries as well as a tough matchup against Darius Slay. Regardless of Cooper's health, Gallup is clearly an integral part of the passing game and will look to build off this excellent performance next Sunday on the road against the Patriots.

Cobb caught four of seven targets for 115 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-27 win over the Lions.

The majority of Cobb's production came on the final drive of the first half, to which he contributed a 49-yard reception that he followed with a 19-yard touchdown grab. He made another couple of big plays as he delivered his second consecutive 100-yard game with a score, and he could continue to thrive as long as Amari Cooper (knee/ankle) is limited by injuries. Given the health of his aforementioned teammate, Cobb seems poised to see his fair share of opportunities again next Sunday against the Patriots.

Hopkins secured seven of 12 targets for 80 yards in the Texans' 41-7 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Hopkins' line paced the Texans' pass-catching corps across the board, but it was a mostly empty line in the grand scheme of things. The Pro Bowler does have at least 80 receiving yards in three of the past four games, and he's logged no less than seven catches in six consecutive contests, giving him one of the most solid fantasy floors of any receiver. Hopkins will look to continue producing versus the Colts in a Week 12 Thursday night divisional matchup.

Cooper (knee/ankle) caught three of eight targets for 38 yards during Sunday's 35-27 win over the Lions.

Although Cooper entered the game without an injury designation, he came up grimacing after an early reception and appeared to be limited throughout the rest of the game. He still made some nice plays across from star cornerback Darius Slay, but he mainly served as a decoy while Randall Cobb and Michael Gallup combined for 263 receiving yards. Cooper has managed to fight tough various injuries all season, and although he continues to find his way into the lineup, his production stands to suffer if he can't move past his health concerns. Next Sunday's matchup against a tough Patriots defense will be challenging regardless of Cooper's health, but injury limitations could certainly reduce his upside even more.

Moore corralled eight of his 15 targets for 95 receiving yards during Sunday's 29-3 loss to the Falcons.

The second-year wideout continues to capitalize on a high-volume workload, tallying six-plus receptions and 70-plus receiving yards over five of his past six outings. During that span he's been regarded as the clear WR1 in Carolina's passing attack, averaging 10.5 targets per game and never having fewer than eight passes thrown his way. Moore remains a high-floor option heading into the Panthers' Week 12 matchup against a New Orleans defense that surrendered 313 passing yards and two touchdowns to Tampa Bay on Sunday.
